DAS Connect goes live

DAS UK Group has launched DAS Connect, a brand new quote and buy web portal that will enable brokers to quote, buy, adjust and renew DAS products online.

The portal is an integral part of DAS UK’s new E-Trade programme which is designed to support brokers with the sale of legal expenses insurance. The E-Trade programme will also see the launch of the DAS product range immediately onto the Acturis platform with the SSP platform to follow in the coming weeks.

To coincide with the launch DAS has also developed a new suite of commercial products that will be available via DAS Connect, Acturis and SSP, while a new personal product range will be launched later in the year.

The company’s wider programme of digital transformation also includes a brand new portfolio of corporate websites, and a new After The Event (ATE) online portal for the company’s solicitor partners that will enable them to apply for and bind ATE insurance cover more easily than ever before.

James Henderson, Managing Director Insurance UK & Ireland, DAS UK Group, said: “Historically commercial legal expenses insurance has evolved by the inclusion of more and more specialised and complex covers which sound great but have questionable value when you look at their utilisation.

“I think those days are now over and what brokers are telling us is that they now want something quite different – clear and straightforward products that are easy to explain to their customers; delivered quickly, digitally and integrated into their existing systems with a competitive price. I am delighted we are investing significantly to deliver that for them.”
